a book log

This is a book log. A place where I keep track of all the books I’ve recently read. Every now and then I’ll include something I had to read for class. (Mostly books, but movies and TV shows are included.)

This is not a book review blog. I may write some notes on how a feel about a certain book or series, but rarely in-depth. This is also not a place to look for links to download books. I tend to read books in legal formats – in the bookstore, lent from friends or the library, or I buy them. And if the book is offered for free on BN.com or Amazon or any other bookseller/publisher site, then I download them legally.

As of April 2017 – These days I read more Regency romances because I need light reads with HEAs in my life to escape from my real life, which is bogged down by the mundane stresses of life. I still enjoy reading paranormal/urban fantasy, and have developed a taste for watching the Great British Baking Show.

The series/authors I am most recently following, in no particular order

Ilona Andrews – Kate Daniels, Innkeeper, Burn for Me

Grace Burrowes

Caroline Linden

Tessa Dare

Lisa Shearin – SPI Files

Seanan McGuire – InCryptid

Courtney Milan

I usually read fantasy, but historical fiction is good too. And then every once in a while, there’s nonfiction.

I’m an Asian American, I work in environmental consulting, and I live and work in between the two cities of Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
Series that I’m currently reading:

Dresden Files by Jim Butcher

Elemental Masters by Mercedes Lackey

500 Kingdoms by Mercedes Lackey

Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews

Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer

List last updated Feb 21, 2015.

I’m also an amateur nature photographer. I primarily use my HTC One (M7) phone camera, and my own Canon EOS Rebel T3i. (Sony W-90 is now regulated for work uses only, and it’s old.)

Former series I was following:

Temeraire by Naomi Novik; not anymore because the series stopped clicking with me, as well as the fact that a couple of books got completely ruined in my Summer 2010 flooding incident
